About the Book

A Book to Assist Primary Caregivers in Organizing and Recording Details of the Care Given to a Loved One Designed to benefit both the caregiver and the loved one receiving the care, this book goes beyond recording of the techniques medical care by also including prompts for routines and preferences that are important for continuity and emotional well-being. The caregiver will have the peace of mind that everything in their power has been done to keep consistency when someone else must provide the care. Additionally, healthy seniors are purchasing the book and filling in their preferences and needs then telling their children where the book is located in the event that they need care in the future. It has been popular for entering their wishes in terms of care if they become unable (section for additional information in the back). The book has served as a substitute for the tough conversations with their children when their children say they don´t want to talk about any unfortunate health change or end of life.
